www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Cable&Wireless Worldwide and Research In Motion (RIM) today announced the availability of the BlackBerry® solution to Cable&Wireless customers in the UK.
The BlackBerry solution brings together smartphones, software and services to allow Cable&Wireless customers in the UK easy wireless access to email, phone, messaging, social networking, calendar, web, multimedia and other business and lifestyle applications. Cable&Wireless customers will now be able to enjoy the freedom and productivity benefits of using BlackBerry® smartphones to stay connected to people and information on the go.
Customers can take advantage of Cable&Wireless’ FMC proposition when using a BlackBerry smartphone. This allows mobile services to be delivered over a fixed IP network – converging fixed and mobile services onto a single wireless device. Business users benefit from the ease and simplicity of a streamlined data network with one number, one voicemail and one bill. The FMC technology also lets a mobile device act as a landline when the user is inside the office, transferring traffic to the fixed voice network, and costing the same amount as a landline call. When the user is outside of the building, they seamlessly roam onto a national mobile network.
